《Back in Time: I Choose to Love You》Chapter 169: Ding Family's Banquet
Advertisement
In the evening, the banquet held in President Ding’s courtyard was actually a very common business gathering in Fu Zhen’s circle. The nature of the banquet was also relatively relaxed and casual!
The weather was very cold. Si Mi, wrapped in a long windbreaker, followed Fu Zhen into the courtyard. At a glance, there were quite a lot of people in the courtyard. It was also quite lively. Si Mi saw a lot of delicious food. There was even a barbecue!
This didn’t quite fit with the style of the venue. Si Mi imagined how Fu Zhen would normally work. Shouldn’t everyone be holding champagne in their hands, raising their hands to write, and talking about millions and millions of bills?
Fu Zhen walked beside her and said to her with a smile, “How is it? I told you it wouldn’t be boring!”
Si Mi came back to her senses. “It’s not bad. I haven’t had barbecue for a long time!” As she said that, she pretended to look at Fu Zhen with a wronged face and complained. Ever since she was pregnant, her eating habits had been controlled by someone! It was fine if she didn’t mention it, but she would cry if she did!
The host of the party, President Ding, saw Fu Zhen walking in with his assistant’s reminder. He quickly put down the wine glass in his hand and went up to her. “Aiyo! President Fu, you’re really a rare guest! It’s been a long time since we last met!”
He saw Si Mi standing beside Fu Zhen and smiled slightly. He joked, “I was wondering why I could still see President Fu at this time! It turns out that Mrs. Fu has also come with us! It’s such an honor to have you here today!”

Fu Zhen smiled and exchanged pleasantries with him. Si Mi also smiled appropriately at the side!
After leading them to their seats, President Ding smiled and said to Si Mi, “It’s just some simple self-help that I made at home! Make it casual! Make it casual! You guys sit down first. I’ll go get my wife!”
Si Mi stared at the meat on the grill and stopped moving. Fu Zhen found it funny. He held Si Mi’s hand and said, “Are you that greedy? I’ll take you there!”
Si Mi, whose eyes were shining, followed behind Fu Zhen obediently. She pointed with her hand and said, “I want this, that, put more chili on it!”
When President Ding brought his wife over, Fu Zhen had already arranged for Si Mi to eat happily, Mrs. Ding saw Si Mi and exclaimed, “Oh my! I was wondering why my husband called me over in such a hurry. So it’s Mi Mi!”
As she spoke, she sat down beside Si Mi. Her enthusiasm made Si Mi feel a little uncomfortable. Si Mi smiled and said, “Hello, Mrs. Ding!” She was sure that this was the first time she had seen this person!
Mrs. Ding patted her palm lightly, “Look, is it because a noble person forgets things too much? When you two were married in the past, I even followed my husband over! Your sister-in-law and I are also very good friends! We often meet to play mahjong together!”
Si Mi looked at her with some doubt in her eyes. “My sister-in-law?”
“Aiyo! Look at you. How many big brothers does he have? It’s Yan Min!” Mrs. Ding looked at Si Mi and Fu Zhen with a reproachful look. She could not tell if she was really stupid or if she had other thoughts!

Everyone knew very well that the relationship between Fu Zhen and his big brother, Fu Kun, was like fire and water! What was this person trying to do by bringing up the intimate relationship between her and Yan Min?
Si Mi chuckled and replied, “Yes. That’s good!” She turned to look at Fu Zhen. Who wouldn’t know how to be polite and pretend!
Mrs. Ding became even more enthusiastic when she saw her reply. “I heard from her that her son hasn’t been going well recently? She should have gone to the master who recommended him to her, right? Sigh, let me tell you, this Master Ming An really sees things very accurately! Are you interested?”
As she spoke, she looked at Si Mi with clear eyes. Si Mi looked at her and felt that she could trust this so-called Mrs. Ding. She was just a simple person who was stupid!
“Ah, there’s no need. Thank you!”
“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse! Let me tell you about this master. He’s really very capable! As long as you’re sincere, you can ask for anything!”
Si Mi smiled when she heard this. Wasn’t this saying that as long as the money was in place, he could solve anything for you!
“Has the Master’s business expanded so much these days?” Si Mi asked. President Ding was a little embarrassed at the side. This madam of hers was good at everything except for her nerves and no complicated thoughts!
“Hahaha! Don’t take it to heart. My wife just solved a particularly troublesome matter a while ago because of this Master. So, in order to thank this Master Ming An, she will recruit some devotees for this Master! Consider it a form of repayment!”

War of Seasons
Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line.
